Films Portfolio DVD with playback mode option.

I need to make a films portfolio DVD. The "TV" menu must to have 12 buttons targed to 12 Tv comercial films. I would like to know if is possible to include a command for playback mode at each botton, one mode is for play only the target film and stop, other mode is for play this targed film and all next films to the end of the program. Someone? excuse-me for the poor english.

You might try this utility to clear out cache files (select "autopilot" mode).

How much free drive space do you have? If it's too full, it can slow down the system or cause other problems.

  • Problems with playback quality of animated DVD on television

    I'm sending a ~20 minute (uncompressed, millions of colors) animation in QuickTime out of Final Cut Express HD in a format of HD-1080i and trying to get a very high resolution DVD for television (HD TV). Before taking the QuickTime video to any DVD writing software the aspect ratio (16:9) is correct and resolution is immaculate.
    However, all my efforts to get a super-high resolution DVD of this animation, whether I go through iMovie or only to iDVD have gotten me a lot of written and wasted DVDs in my tests. The resolution is very poor.
    QUESTION:
    How do I get a very complex animation that requires very intense color and clarity to a DVD for playback on a HD TV using my software? In my arsenal is Final Cut Express-HD vers. 3, iLIfe '06 incl. iMovie and iDVD, Toast (if needed).
    Please advise.

    HHHMMM….. where to start. First, you can’t possibly
    hold yourself to commercial quality unless you have a
    commercial budget.
    I don't expect commercial quality - just to be able to display the millions of colors and the extreme clarity on any TV and even better still on a HDTV. So far I only can get the quality I seek on a computer display. All my efforts to find a solution for television playback have resulted in a fuzzy and jerky animated feature. Here again I'm not looking for commercial quality - just clear, crisp and smooth.
    Hollywood spends millions on
    feature films. Compression hardware alone can run
    several thousands if not hundreds of thousands of
    dollars. Compared to iDVD included in a $79 software
    suite? However, even the Hollywood produced DVDs must
    rely on the DVD specification and as such, 1080i is
    currently lost on them. So your answer to “isn’t iDVD
    supposed to write anything I give it” is that if iDVD
    takes your QT file (Which BTW, should be in the DV
    format) it WILL compress it to a DVD MPEG 2 compliant
    file. This means 720x480.
    But I don't want any compression other than the final step MPEG2. And after reading this reply today - THANK YOU - THANK YOU - I at least understand now that I can't even use iDVD because it doesn't offer MPEG2 as a compressor.
    I have located a mpeg2 encoder program that is shareware and will try to find a formule to use after iMovie HD additions of themes and chapters.
    So the first step to take
    is to recognize the limitations of equipment and
    understand the standards. So now we should examine
    the workflow to see if there is anything that can be
    done. Other than knowing what Flash is, I don’t know
    much about it. Can you select a frame size for doing
    your animations? If so, guess what, use the 720x480
    frame size. This is what iDVD is going to make it
    (again, FCP may offer more options to you but that
    isn’t listed in your arsenal).
    Final Cut Pro isn't needed for what I'm doing, is it? I have already gotten exquisite playback quality for computers using FCE HD and I'm now trying to get the playback quality on a TV as good as I can get it.
    Next, from within FCE,
    do not change the settings when exporting via QT. You
    want to export it as it is in FCE, you don’t want to
    change it. iDVD is expecting a DV file. Any other
    file and quality will likely take a hit. Finally, why
    DVDs? Flash is typically web based. And computer
    monitors have a much higher resolution than a TV.
    Flash is generally web based but it can be used to produce a single QuickTime movie if the elements are primarily drawings as my animated feature is. Then on to Final Cut Express all of my imported clips are in QuickTime and thus are already compresssed by QuickTime's excellent compressor. I found that I do not get a good result if I allow any further compression - at least not on computer displays - as long as I export with QT conversion, compression none, millions of colors and specify the size I want it to maintain.
    You
    could output your Files and serve them up via a data
    DVD to be played on a computer. Just curious.
    I am already getting excellent playback quality on computers but now I need playback quality on any television because it is not intended only for computers.
    Mike
    Thanks Mike. You've already been a help in getting me away from iDVD for this project. iMovie may be OK still because its "HD". Got any more suggestions for my situation?

  • We lost our DVD with distributive of Adobe Photoshop CS3 ( redacted by mod-kglad , 8 license).

    We lost our DVD with distributive of Adobe Photoshop CS3 (<partial license number redacted by mod - kglad>). What can we do for get new one (DVD) or can yousuggest another way for install programme (exclude buying new version like CS6)?

    Thanks, but if you didn't see aboove ("the last one PC with Adobe Photshop CS3 installed in 2008 (with our serial) - chapters "Load e-License..." and "Return e-License..." was not active (in Menu "Help")",look at the screenshoot  ("ps cs3>click help>...") from this PC:
    As you see, there are no any "deactivate" (in Russian it means "Деактивировать") there.
    Read the following answers from http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html, please. It was on 25 oct 2013:
    You are now chatting with Vijay Kanna .
    Vijay Kanna : Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
    Vijay Kanna : Hi Ilia.
    Vijay Kanna : Please allow me a moment while I  review your request.
    Ilia: Hello! Ok, I'm waiting.
    Vijay Kanna : I have read your request.
    Vijay Kanna : I will be glad to help you with the information.
    Vijay Kanna : I would first like to inform you that this application you have is a Volume Licensing Product for CS3 for which its not possible to make changes on the license activation seats.
    Vijay Kanna : Usually the Volume Licensing Product will not provide such error as this type of error will only show up with retail (single) user application.
    Vijay Kanna : If you use the correct download link from the licensing account for this particular application or the CDs for this particular application you will not get such errors.
    Ilia: Ok. Where I can download distributive of CS3 (we lost our box with CD or DVD)?
    Vijay Kanna : If the CDs are lost and you have not purchased the application as a download then its not possible to find the download link for this application now as the current shipping version with Adobe is CS6.
    Vijay Kanna : Adobe at the moment only has the CDs and download link for CS6.
    Ilia: It means that we couldn't install our CS3 on new PC? What can we do in this case?
    Vijay Kanna : You will have to locate the original CDs or your next option is to purchase the current version which is CS6.
    Vijay Kanna : Also the CS3 is not compatible on Windows 7 or any other latest OS.
    Vijay Kanna : Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Ilia: Yes? wait a momemt please/ I consult with my boss/
    Vijay Kanna : Okay.
    Vijay Kanna : Are we still connected?
    Ilia: Yes
    Vijay Kanna : Okay.
    Vijay Kanna : Do you have any further questions for me today?
    Ilia: Yes, wait a moment.
    Vijay Kanna : Sure. I will stay online.
    Ilia: My colleague claims that a distribution kit with which we install the program on new PC is copied from lost CD.
    Vijay Kanna : Ilia, the application is not installed this way. Also this error which you say "exceeded allowable activation" is not for a Volume Licensing Product and such error is only associated with the single user application.
    Vijay Kanna : Hence, the installation file you have should be incorrect and for a single user application.
    Ilia: Ok, thanks. We will try to find CD. Good-bye.
    Vijay Kanna : You are welcome.
    Vijay Kanna : Please click again to check with us, if we can be of further help.
    Vijay Kanna : We will be glad to check and help you.
    Vijay Kanna : Thank you for chatting.  Goodbye.
    Chat InformationThis chat session has ended.
    Thank you for contacting Adobe."
    PS: Finaly, we lost our CD or DVD (with box), we have only serial number and bild (was purhased 2008), nothing else. I tried to finding the same as we lost distributive via Google, etc a lot of time, but trere is no success.

  • I produced a film in iMovie and send it to iDVD to make a DVD with a theme. When everything was ready it starts at my mac-computer. But at the TV the theme always comes at the end of the film not at the beginning. What have I to change, what´s wrong?

    I produced a film in imovie and send it to idvd to make a dvd with a theme. After finishing all the dvd starts in my mac-computer and first comes the theme and then the film.
    But when I start it with a dvd-recorder at tv first the film comes an at the end of the film the theme comes. What did I wrong? Where is my mistake?

    Hi
    A. Do not Use - Share to iDVD - in any iMovie version at all !
    B. Start a BRAND NEW iDVD project
    C. in iMovie'08 to 11 -  Share to Media Browser and as LARGE - NOT HD or other resolution as quality will be even worse
    - in iMovie HD6 - just close it and from within iDVD import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it)
    - FinalCut - Export as QuickTime Movie - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - AT ALL !
    D. When in iDVD - see to that in the Lay-out menu (when it looks like a box-plott) there ARE NOTHING in the upper left most box (Auto Start box). As this overruns any Menu.
    E. Save as a DiskImage - TEST this first - befor burning any DVDs

    If you want all video DVDs to open in VLC, go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs>When you insert a video DVD:>Open other application> and now select VLC.
    This will open VLC, but the DVD will not automatically play, you have to go to File>Open Disc once in VLC.
    One question though, why not use Apple's DVD player Application?

    You can't change languages in any of the movies offered in the store. Some movies have subtitles but it is in the same language as the movie.
    Depending on what country you are in, you may get movies in that countries native language.

  • Bad quallity film after burning dvd with idvdv professional quality.

    After making a movie in imovie and importing it in idvdv the quality is still HD
    after burning a dvd with professional quality the quatity of the dvdv is very poor. Horizontal lines are dancing over the screen!!
    Can anyone tell me wat is going on???

    Keep in mind that all Dvd's burned through your mac and are playable on your mac as well as your set top DVD player are ALWAYS standard definition /SD. There is no way around this (that is if your intentions is for playback on most computers and most set top Dvd Players.
    One of the limiting factors is apple's dvd player app. It isn't fully blu-ray compatible yet. Meaning that even if you did burn a high def. Dvd which is only playble on Sony's PS3 and most set top Blu-ray players .... the finished Dvd won't play on your mac since apple has yet to update/upgrade their DVD Player application to fully incorporate Blu-ray standards. To the best of my knowledge, apple's support is very limited here. Hence the alternative for mac users is to use Roxio Toast's Blu-ray plug in as well as Toast Blu-ray player. If you opt to go high def through Toast then the completed Dvd will NOT play on most set top dvd players but will on most Blu-ray Players as well as Sony's PS3.
    Hope this advice helps but if not just come on back.

  • How do I prevent snags when buring my DVD with a soundtrack for playback on a DVD player?  It only plays clearly on the computer itself.

    I totally get how to create a DVD with a great soundtrack on my computer.  I put the whole thing together and when I play it back in preview, it plays beautifully.  However, when I select "burn" and burn it do a disk and then go to play it on my DVD player hooked up to my TV, there are rough spots---times when the sound goes out and then comes back on, etc.  
    Someone wrote me and said to choose "save to disk" first and then use disk utility or Toast to burn it at a slow speed.  I tried doing this and when I selected "burn to disk" it only came up as an audio file and a separate video file, so I was lost at that point. 
    Any ideas of why this discrepancy might be happening?  I'd appreciate any of your thoughts!
    Thanks!
    Rick

    okay, I can help you a little bit. your dvd player (standalone) plays mpeg-2, I think, so
    in order for a disk to work in it, both the audio and video have to be combined into a whole package, which i think is video_ts.Using Toast, choose video, then dvd-video then drag n' drop, and it may work. As far as  i know, disk utility cannot make video dvd's, but  I may be wrong, and you may be right. I used iDVD, but there are probably other programs that may do as good a job of burning. Oh, and this is most important: Some blanks will work ok, and others won't. Verbatim, maxell ( I think) and Taiyo Yuden will work fine. the other ones are a gamble. I think what it's supposed to do is called muxing. I'm sure someone will correct me on this. You could try using "Burn" which is relatively cheap or Handbrake and see if that will do what you want to do. not that it's super important, but the amount of Ram in your machine is helpful too
    anyways, good luck

  • PDF Portfolio combatibility with apple and accessibility

    Our office thought PDF portfolios were the way to go for our large manuals that we want available online for readers to view and print. We are running into many problems, however.
    1. Are PDF portfolios truly accessible to screen readers? I set the preference to open in files mode; however, when I publish the PDF portfolio to our web, a coworker opened it into preview mode.
    2. Are PDF portfolios compatible with apple products? Another coworker opened the portfolio off our web, and it only showed the first PDF in the portfolio. There were no options to see others or search or anything.
    I've been trying to research online, but I am getting nowhere. Basically what I've found was that the user needs to have Adobe Reader installed (on their iPad, Mac, iPhone, etc.) in order to view. It says to save the setting to open all portfolios in files mode, but that does not seem to carry with the portfolio - just the user's computer who changed the setting.
    Extremely frustrated forms/records manager

    That's a complete PITA, then. Our local government, for example, commonly
    puts up PDF portfolios on their web site which consist of scans of
    multiple written responses to planning submissions bundled together into a
    PDF portfolio. Without the thumbnails of each contained PDF in the
    portfolio, it is impossible read anything other than the first PDF in the
    portfolio. Have a look for example, at
    http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/22343/DV307_Submissions_1-20_1.37 MB.pdf.
    All submissions in this portfolio can be accessed without any problem
    using Reader 9.4.3 for Windows, but with Reader 9.4.3 for Linux, only the
    first submission in the document can be accessed.
    There is no AR9.4.3 for Linux: do you mean AR9.4.2?
    Anyhow my recommendation under Linux would be to stick with AR9.3.4.
    I've just checked at my end and it has no problem with your
    sample portfolio.

  • How to create a DVD with multiple video projects

    I want to burn a DVD with several short video projects so that it will run without stopping in between.

    Hi
    *Play all resp one chapter at a time*
    Play All Button
    1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
    2. It can be faked in several ways
    • Easies and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
    Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
    • It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
    give the function of a Play All button - Never tested though.
    • Using another program to do this eg. Roxio Toast™ where there ia a Play All button option.
    Mike Evangelist1
    You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.

  • Best Quality Exporting From HDV to DVD with Dan's method

    Hi
    I have few questions on Dan's method.
    here is my workflow according to Dan's method:
    On the Premiere CS4 end of things:
    Download these Adobe Media Encoder CS4 presets for 100Mbps MPEG-2 I-frame 4:2:2
    Export your 19220x1080 60i timeline using the corresponding preset from the ones above; this will create a (very large) .m2v file and .wav file
    Now some freeware tools to get the conversion done properly:
    Download and install the Lagarith lossless codec
    Download and install VirtualDub
    Download and install AviSynth
    Download and install my hd2sd() conversion package for AviSynth (instructions for installation are in the .zip file)
    Create a new blank text document in notepad, like such, and save this file as premiere.avs, and save it to the same folder as your .m2v and .wav file (edit the video and audio parameters to match your filenames). This is your "script" file for AviSynth:
    video = "myfile.m2v"
    audio = "myfile.wav"
    FFMpegSource(video)
    (audio == "") ? last : AudioDub(WavSource(audio))
    hd2sd(OutputColorSpace="YUY2", OutputBFF=true)

    Also set VirtualDub to use Video : Fast recompress mode
    Save your output to lagarith.avi
    Import lagarith.avi into Encore for transcoding and authoring
    Actually, I am trying to edit my mts files(1920x1080 60i) but it is running too slow on my computer if I edit those mts files directly in premiere. Therefore, I converted those mts files to m2v and wav. Should I try edit those m2v files in premiere and export the whole DVD version to m2v again. Then, use the DVD m2v file to convert that to avi file by using the VirtualDub ?
    However, I tried to edit the m2v and wav files in premiere and send it to encore with the mpeg2 blu-ray with 1920x1080i 29.97 High Quality. It then burned it on the DVD. It turned out the same as the VirtualDub version. I think it is less time spending compare to VirtualDub. Let me know if I am wrong.
    Another thing that I tried was using the lagarith.avi file but it is 720 x 480 then I imported to the premiere and edited it. My project's setting was  AVCHD 1080i30 which my video camcorder setting is. After I edited my project in premiere, I sent it to the encore to burn on the dvd by setting to the mpeg2DVD option. However, I played it on my hd dvd player and the output was pretty small.
    My goal is to use premiere to edit the files and use encore to add some features such as title pages or buttons. Then, burn it on the DVD with the HD quality.
    Please help ! thank you very much guys !

    Hello,
    Couple of questions on the below:
    1) Does this work for converting .MTS files?
    2) If so, I download the Encoder presets, but where do I place them? (I didn't see any .epr files in the root of /encoder

  • Preparing my film for DVD - in quicktime?

    I have down-converted my film from FCE to quicktime and when there is fast camera movement, lines appear around the subject
    I have tried all the settings in quicktime conversion but none seem to improve the situation.
    Im working in DV-Pal which was converted from HD.
    Im converting using Quicktime conversion under the following settings:
    Compression: H.264
    Quality: High
    Key frame rate: 24
    Frame reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Dimansions:384x288
    I have been told it may be interlacing, but I am wanting to produce my film onto DVDs - how can I do this in the best quality?
    thanks

    You need to start by shooting in true 24fps or at least with a camera that shots 23.976fps. Or you need a very sophiticated software application like Compressor or I think Nattress' standards converter to convert your media to 24fps. Then you need FCP or an application that supports 24fps, and finally you need DVD Studio Pro to make a DVD in 24fps.

Maybe you are looking for
